Story
I adopted Olive from the SPCA, and she is about 9 years old. I’m looking for someone who will take good care of her and love her. She is very sweet and loves to cuddle. She absolutely loves food and is very talkative. She does have a raspy meow, but you’ll grow to love it—it’s hard not to!

Story
Luna is a stunning gray and white long-haired lady, seven years young, with a soft, silky coat. Rescued from a dumpster at just five weeks old, she's spent her life surrounded by love and care -- and it shows. Healthy, happy, and deeply loyal, Luna is ready to bring her gentle presence to a new forever home. Her foster says "She has a quiet meow but a loud purr." Though shy at first, Luna is incredibly smart and affectionate once she feels safe. She knows her name, comes when called, and enjoys being close to her person -- whether it's sitting quietly on your desk while you work, curling up at the foot of your bed, or joining you in the garden for some peaceful outdoor time. She's not a lap kitty, but she is a heart kitty -- the kind that becomes your quiet, constant companion. Luna is very clean and tidy with her litter box and appreciates a calm, predictable environment. She's frightened of dogs and children, so a quiet, adult-only home would be ideal. Regular grooming helps keep her long coat comfortable -- she's not fond of having her belly brushed, but with gentle handling and patience, she does well. Sadly, Luna's beloved person can no longer care for her due to age and declining health. Now she's looking for someone with a tender heart who understands the value of a calm companion and is willing to give her the safe, loving home she deserves. Ideal Home: -Quiet household without children or dogs -Someone who enjoys the company of a calm, independent cat -Willing to provide occasional professional grooming if needed If you're looking for a serene, loyal friend to share your days with, Luna might be the perfect match. Come meet this sweet girl -- she's ready to love and be loved.

Story
Meet Milo — A Gentle Soul Looking for His Forever Home Milo is a sweet 8-year-old gray and white short-haired cat with the softest heart. Life hasn’t been easy for him — he’s been passed from home to home, never quite getting the chance to settle in or feel truly safe. Most recently, he was surrendered to a shelter, confused and frightened, wondering where he belonged. But even with all he’s been through, Milo remains a gentle, tender boy. He’s cautious at first, but once he realizes he can trust you, he leans in for quiet pets, slow blinks, and warm cuddles. Milo loves curling up in a welcoming lap — he's a true lap cat at heart. He also tends to feel most comfortable with women and settles in more quickly with patient, gentle female caregivers. He enjoys cozy blankets, calm voices, and people who let him come out of his shell in his own time. Milo would thrive in a peaceful, stable home where he can finally feel secure. He doesn’t ask for much — just safety, kindness, and someone who will never give up on him. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will blossom with love, Milo is ready to start his new chapter with you.

Story
Meet Joey - A Gentle Senior in Search of a Loving Home Joey is a stunning 18-year-old long-haired gray and white gentleman with a heart as soft as his purr. Sadly, Joey's world turned upside down when his owner moved overseas and was unable to take him along. Now, this sweet soul is looking for a peaceful, loving home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by kindness. A lifelong indoor cat, Joey is well-mannered. Though he's quite hard of hearing, Joey still enjoys life's simple pleasures--especially basking in warm, sunny spots, laps and receiving gentle affection from his human companions. He enjoys short play sessions and likes harness strolls outside too! Joey's silky coat needs regular gentle brushing to keep him comfortable and tangle-free, and he takes a daily medication (that goes on the skin of his ear) to help maintain his health. He's cooperative with both and appreciates a calm, gentle touch. If you're looking for a mellow, affectionate companion to share quiet moments and sunny afternoons, Joey might just be the perfect fit for your heart and home

Hi there, my name is Magnolia! I was brought into the SPCA after some nice people found me as a stray. I am a little shy as I used to spend most of my time outdoors, but I am a very nice girl who wants some affection. I am looking for someone who will be patient with me as I adjust to my new surroundings. Did I mention I have the cutest and sweetest meow? I love to spend my time basking in the sun and getting some head scratches. Do I sound like a good fit for you? Come meet me today! Primary Color: Black Weight: 7.3 Age: 1yrs 0mths 1wks
